When you've got both a renowned scientist and a well respected king - a warrior-king, no less - commenting on the power of Garlean bodies, it makes you think.

Hien's comment is what solidifies it for me. The scientist guy you could argue as being biased, but Hien? I don't think he would buy into garlean propaganda like that. Plus, greater strength would help to offset them not being able to use aether to some degree.
